Background: The period for complementary feeding is crucial for young infants.
Lack of awareness in knowledge, attitude and practice towards complementary
feeding among caregivers will lead to improper practice of complementary feeding
which may affect the health of children under their care.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine the level of knowledge, attitude,
and practice (KAP) on complementary feeding among caregivers in Kampung Jeriah,
Sibu, Sarawak.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study done among 60 caregivers in Kampung
Jeriah, Sibu, Sarawak. Non-probability sampling method was adopted to select at
least one caregiver from each household in the village. A self-administered style of
data collection was used. The data was analysed for descriptive data of mean, median,
frequencies and standard deviation using SPSS version 20.0.
Results: Among the respondents, the levels of KAP are 61.7%, 50% and 60%
respectively. In this study, the respondents with lower income have significantly
better knowledge regarding complementary feeding (p=0.01). The results also showed
that respondents aged 25-44 years old had good practice towards complementary
feeding as compared to younger or older group, which is reflected in the p value
0.032. Almost half of the respondents with good level of knowledge (48.6%) started
to give complementary food to their child at age 6 months old.
Conclusion: Generally, the respondents had a satisfactory level of knowledge and
practices towards complementary feeding. However. the level of attitude on
complementary feeding was relatively low compared to the level of knowledge and
practice. Statistically, there was no significant correlation between the three
components (knowledge, attitude and practice on complementary feeding). It was
recommended that more health education should be held by the health authority on
complementary feeding so that the knowledge, attitude and practice of caregivers on
the topic could be improved.
